They'd simply have to let me get behind the wheel: I've seen how skilled their drivers aren't.

We won't give up on oil until we run out.
It'll never happen: I'd like to introduce thermal depolymerization, or, as it may possibly come to be known, soylent oil.
Drivers don't really have the option not to take rides...they have to accept 90% of rides offered, or they're out of Uber.
Don't be stupid: if they don't want to take rides, they have the option of not signing-on to the system.
Perhaps it would've been safe to assume that my comment was intended to be at least partially useful; i.e. I wasn't referring to drives that are so fucking old that they're of legal drinking age??

Even dumbass shills ought to keep from sticking their feet that far down their throats...
I remember old Connors sucking balls... and getting an *entire batch* of Fujitsus that were bad (eighteen years ago)... IBM "Deathstars" were virtually guaranteed to go belly-up soon after purchase (fifteen years ago)... but I'm not aware of Western Digitals from a decade ago being likely to have problems disproportionate to their numbers... in fact, I've low-level-wiped and run diag on *so very many* WD's from that time period (easily in the thousands) that I feel sure I would have spotted a trend...
And then took a big bloody nose from the inferior Migs.
That only held true until graduates of the Navy's new Fighter Weapons School showed up, whereupon the kill ratio became 13-to-1 (our favor).
Fuck those insidious things. Taking out a hornets/wasps' nest up in the eaves with a 12ga loaded with birdshot (the smaller the shotsize, the better)...? Priceless. Watching bits of wasp rain gently down for 30sec afterwards only adds to the fun!
And yet, hard drives can and do crash. They fail.
Three rules of thumb:
A) Avoid heat
B) Avoid vibration
C) Avoid Seagate!
If all else fails, lower your standards.
